Reconfigurable multicomputer networks for very fast real-time applications
Carl G. Davis, Svetlana P. Kartashev, Steven I. Kartashev · 1982
This paper introduces concurrent reconfiguration techniques that perform fast reconfiguration of a multicomputer network into the following network structures: K-rooted trees, stars, and rings with selectable periods. These structures prove to be very efficient for high-speed, real-time applications. The techniques introduced are based on shift register theory and are performed by special shift registers residing in each network node and called shift registers with variable bias.
